About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the creditor's bond actually covers

When an estate is opened in Miller County, Missouri and no heir or named executor steps forward, a creditor of the deceased can petition the probate division to administer the estate so the debt owed to them can be collected. Missouri probate practice lets the court condition that role on a surety bond.

The bond protects the estate, the heirs, and other creditors against loss if the creditor-administrator mishandles estate assets or fails to follow the probate court's orders. It is filed with the Miller County Circuit Court, Probate Division, and the judge sets the penal sum.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim on the bond, you repay the surety. A creditor who administers the estate honestly and follows the court's directions treats the bond as a filing formality. We issue the amount the court named at a flat 3%.
